Facilities

Pearl City Community Unit School District #200 presently operates one school building that contains all Pre-K through twelfth grade students. The school was built in 1912 and although it has been remodeled and added onto numerous times, is still the school in use today.^[2] An updated high school section was added to the building in 1970, including the current gymnasium. In 2003, a significant structure was added to the existing school building to be utilized by high school and middle school students. The high school complex shares space with the Pearl City Park District and includes three baseball diamonds and play field space for physical education classes as well as a football field. The theme for the current school reflects a flexible multi-purpose facility that will allow for both school based and community based activities.

Within the facility, the building houses a modern library; a fine arts department, that includes graphic arts as well as chorus and band; an agricultural department; math, science, English departments, industrial technology, foreign language, and social sciences. The physical education department includes two gymnasiums, locker rooms, and a weight room.
